It's astounding just how many people are able to compartmentalize all that's going on with any sense of normalcy. They can walk around with a smile on their face and continue to pretend like it's just another week in America.

Normalcy is gone.
We can only ignore it for as long as we can avoid it.

The far right goons in Trump’s administration are turning a dial labeled “fascism” and looking back at the audience for approval, except the audience is Elon’s neo-Nazi Twitter and it always approves and wants much more. This is literally why America is collapsing

I'm more convinced its an effect than a cause. However, I do agree with Ryan that if X disappeared tomorrow or even was heavily nerfed it would do significant damage to the US conservative movement

National Guard deployment moves ahead in Illinois after judge declines state's suit to block Trump call-up — Chicago Tribune Attorneys for the Trump administration said in court that Texas National Guard units could begin operations by Tuesday, the same day Illinois Guard members have been ordered to report.

Absolute failure of our system that a federal judge can be “very concerned” about Trump’s unlawful attempt to send troops into a city, but also powerless to stop it.

The default should be to protect us from government abuse, not to protect government from temporary inconvenience.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

"A clear visual clue that the photograph was not taken in Portland was that the first officer’s shield is marked 'Policia', the Spanish or Portuguese word for police."

As you can see, I had to use cutting edge #OSINT techniques for this one.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

#AIisnotresearch

There is a legal distinction, but Miller never studied or practiced law. The supremacy clause also doesn’t make the federal government all powerful- we have a federalist system, which Republicans used to believe in. Now they believe in wielding power, gangsterism, and thuggery.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

These programs weren't set up this way simply for the benefit of recipients. They are by design also a subsidy for American agriculture. That's the longstanding red-blue, rural-urban political deal of it. Like how they're getting nuked by the trade war, they are cannibalizing their own coalition.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

OhTheToilette-gate

Before anyone gets lathered over preventing ICE-Barbi from using a toilet, REMEMBER that Ivanka and Jared would not let Secret Service agents that were PROTECTING THEM use the facilities in their house.

They had to use a house nearby—the Obama’s, who were happy to oblige.

There is a funny story about this but when Girkin took over Sloviansk they wanted to loot the local budget only to find out like 70% was going on pensions, which the Kremlin made a propaganda bit and wanted left alone.

So they started looting industrial buildings for recycled metal

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The first large-scale Nazi book burning was on 6 May 1933, when Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin was attacked by Nazi students. It would take decades for science to recover the knowledge about trans-affirming healthcare that was destroyed that day.

Charlie Kirk fan murdered 2 teen girls.

This MAGA pyscho ran these girls down at 70 mph.

This is Trump's America, where sniper units are now aimed at ICE protestors, children are being dragged out naked and zipped tied, and people getting murdered in the name of Kirk.

What's next?

Just look at history.

Extremists are sociopaths

So what’s the clear legal distinction between miscarriage and abortion? And we’re sentencing the men to death too, right?

CNN: Trump says violence on streets of Portland is rising.

If I could repost this 100 times I would. Also, a law officer is a "marshal", not a "Marshall."

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”
